Re: S&W Revolver Hand Tension/Torsion Spring HELP!!
Jerry Miculek has an excellent DVD called Trigger Job.
It shows the complete disassembly, tune-up, and reassembly of the S&W trigger mechanism. I't will definitely answer your questions, teach you how to tune your trigger, and make you much more knowledgable about the function of your S&W revolver.

Thanks guys, I just need to know how the spring is orientated/installed. I may do a trigger job later.

Re: S&W Revolver Hand Tension/Torsion Spring HELP!!
There is a small hole that one leg of the spring drops into. You then have to reach in with something and pull the other leg back as you insert the hand. That is the best I can do for you. I really suggest you get the Miculek DVD so you can watch him do it. This is definitely a case where seeing is best. Otherwise have a gunsmith do it. It is a quick job. Besides that if you are going to take the gun apart you may as well tune the trigger at the same time. You do not want to repeatedly disassemble these revolvers as parts loosen up every time you do.
